Respectfully, how does this relate at all to the OP’s PDF? I don’t think you’re a bot, but the tangential relatedness of your comment to the actual content of this post is confusing at best. Is this just a knee jerk reaction to any discussion of poor student performance?

No, it's a response to the set of questions, which included a lot of "you should be spending all your time studying and doing homework for my course, for I am the only course you are doing at any one time" style mantras. Failing that you could take it as "this questionnaire implies that there is no limit to the amount of work and study you can be doing without any possible negative repercussions". You could also do a basic check on my user profile and go "hey, maybe this person who has been making comments of varying quality on a variety of topics for more than a decade isn't a bot (unless lambda? ;D) before functionally accusing them of being a bot, for a comment that isn't tangential given the questions in the OPs pdf?"

  We then strongly disagree on expectations, then. I don’t think this prof expects anyone but the most diligent students to confidently check each box. You should be able to get a B by doing a subset of this list.

I think it’s pretty fair. I think it’s easy for a professor to send a memo like this and not be able to retrospective enough that maybe students aren’t asking because he/she isn’t good at answering those questions or explaining those concepts well enough. This whole pdf screams this obviously is the children’s problem not mine.

  Without additional information, you’re just speculating. Not all hard teachers are bad teachers. This isn’t the right thread to speculate about how unfair the author of this PDF might have been on account of you’re interpretation of its tone.
